There are a lot of tab websites that aren’t really worth much as far as the site layout but they have the tabs you need so you spend hours looking for the right ones. But really, these websites just take them (mostly) from other websites, and I’m pretty sure there’s nothing wrong with it. Kind of like putting a YouTube vid on your website that was created by some guy 1,000 miles away from you. Actually alot of times the major websites put a signature on all their tabs so you can find the good site.
My favorite tab websites are:
UG has all kinds of tabs. They kind of lean more to the rock genre but its all user generated so it is really everything you can think of. I use powertabs and Guitar Pro tabs, and usually they will have every instrument that’s on the recording ( and are almost always RIGHT so you don’t have to waste your time repairing the tabs). UG also has video lessons and what I believe to be (I never use it) a pretty large community and forums which are often helpful, especially for beginners.
Chordie, is sort of like google for music. It is a search engine type thing for tabs from websites like UG and others (it doesn’t show nearly all of them though) but they also have lots of tabs created for chordie specifically. Chordie also has a mobile style setting that you get when you go to it with a iPod or a cell phone which is often helpful (see below post if you’re interested in mobile tabs). The major downside to chordie is that it only shows text tabs or chord tabs, which are basically the lyrics of the song with the chords placed where they should be played. I prefer chordie for acoustics and UG for everything else.
If you have a powertab or gp5(6,7 whatever version) viewer you can go to the company’s website and usually find some good ones there.
